My MIL told H and I that her and S5 were reading a magazine where it talked about what you love most about your family so she asked him what he loved most about Daddy. He told her that he loved when it was time for bed he would argue with me and say 'just one more game' and he gets to stay up later. She asked him what he loved about his Mommy and he said he loves it when he's in time out, I always come down and hug him and tell him I love him.
Eek. S's being trained to get his way, seeing that arguing is the way to do so, and also to do naughty stuff to the extent which he'll be timed out so that he can subsequently enjoy the reward of feeling loved. Lovely.
Not that it matters much, and it may even be predictable, but I'm curious... what was MIL's response to S's answers?
A week or so ago, H tried to sleep in my bed. This would have been the second time. If you recall, the first time he did this, we had sex. This time, I stuck to my guns and pretty much ignored his advances. He eventually got up and left
Good for you sticking to your guns. If he avoids intimacy, then does that mean he just wants a lay? I'm sorry, I'm a bit repulsed by his climbing into bed with you, that's just me.
